Besides Being The Most Corrupt, It's Also The Leakiest, Most Dysfunctional White House White House In History
Trump is slashing the National Security Council-- by half!-- although no one is 100% certain if Putin ordered him to cut it that drastically or not. Trump's new national security adviser Robert O'Brien-- the guy he hired after Bolton decided he wants to write a book about working for Trump instead of work for Trump-- was on Fox News explaining, with a straight face, that the shift would increase the percentage of political appointees compared to experts from the government agencies who normally fill the bulk of roles at the NSC, which is widely seen as the brains behind White House... more »

Iran Oil Tanker Attack (Update)
*Reuters*:* Iran decries 'cowardly attack' on oil tanker* DUBAI (Reuters) - An Iranian government spokesman on Saturday described as a “cowardly attack” an incident that Iranian media have called the apparent targeting by missiles of an Iranian-owned oil tanker, and said Iran would respond after the facts had been studied.

OCT. 5, 2019 KYIV, Ukraine …The vice president had planned to announce $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees for Ukraine. But en route to Kyiv on Air Force Two, Biden changed his mind.

In Kyiv, Biden privately informed Poroshenko of the decision and the demand: fire Shokin, or you lose the loan guarantees. “Poroshenko was clearly disappointed,” said Colin Kahl, Biden’s national security advisor at the time. ... more »
A Good Politician Does Not Need the Intellectuals
The support of the intellectuals and mainstream media is not necessarily a sign of a government’s popularity, stability, and strength—it can be a sign of weakness and corruption. When the intellectuals and mainstream media are in their pocket, the members of the government become complacent—they start believing that they can get away with anything. They lose touch with the masses and they fail to see what is going on in the economy. They make all kinds of political blunders and indulge in corrupt practices. All this leads to a decline in their popularity and ensures their loss in el... more »
